Snack company Carman’s has launched a range of gluten-free seed- and grain-based crackers for the cheeseboard.

The Super Seed & Grain Crackers are made with simple, clean ingredients and have no added sugar, according to the company.

Crafted to contain over 75 per cent seeds and grains, plus the addition of quinoa flour, the oven-baked crackers are tapping into the health food trend.

The three varieties are Ancient Grain & Black Pepper; Rosemary & Sea Salt; and Pepita & Poppy Seed.

Founder Carolyn Creswell says the Australian-made crackers are vegan-friendly and have no added sugar.

Recommended retail price is $3.90 per 80g pack.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
